Engine restored for 6S1078

[Greg]

I was fortunate that the car had the original engine and had sat for 30 years.  Although it ran okay, I was concerned that it might not have been built properly (the owner said it had been done 30 years prior) so I pulled it and the transmission out (haven't built it yet).  The engine is pretty much done and broken it.  Sweet, sweet sound!!

I also decided the best place for it was inside  (Heat, cool, conversation piece and SAFE!)

Would make one awesome coffee table!

You sir must either have the most understanding wife to allow that motor in your house, or your single. In either case I'm looking at going through the original motor on my Shelby down the road.

Yep I do believe that engine is sitting in a carpeted bedroom! Good on you mate, good looking engine right where it needs to be! Although I agree with prev poster, my wife would have my bags packed but my engine is no where near as nice as yours!
Cheers

Bob, I have no issues with that as some day the car will probably be judged by you anyway .

First its great that your open to that.  And to that end

- What color are the side intake, therm & fuel pump gaskets?   

- Teflon tape on the rear carb plug - Pic #4

- Need to find an engine ID sticker/decal for over the coil and bracket.

Will leave a few for Bob since I think I know a couple he likes to mention often

Here is the proper location of the PCV hose fitting. Hose should then be shorter.

Thanks Brant, I assume the PCV hose is incorrect as well.  Do you have a picture/part number of the correct one?

These guys have all of the things I had issues with . The main visable thing was the PCV in my eye. You can use the pcv hose you have . You take the pcv hose and cut it square where it starts to bend and jam it into the nipple of the fitting . You might want to remove the paper ring on the pcv valve. That was more for service parts instead of assemblyline valves.On the carb you have the wrong filter . It should be the courser thread and it fits into the brass adapter. Also the slotted vacuum plug on the metering block should be silver.

[Bob Gaines]

You should get one of the 65 hipo primary wires from Brant that goes to the distributor to the coil. The correct one is a eyelet with black insulation instead of the right angle push on green service replacement.

The fuel pump gasket should be white from the factory.

All three were originally off white originally. More on one side (one with the spray on adhesive) than the other





Don't have a thermostate gasket handly


Check the engine ID code and get one that matches how your car is equipped
